Amitabh Bachchan 's investment spree in Ayodhya continues, with the legendary actor acquiring his fourth property in the temple town. According to a report by Hindustan Times, the actor recently bought a 25,000 square feet plot for a staggering Rs 40 crore. The land is said to be located near the high-end 'Sarayu' real estate project, in which Bachchan had previously invested Rs 14.5 crore. This latest purchase follows his recent Rs 20 crore investment (Rs 10 crore each) in a real estate firm owned by Bollywood producer Anand Pandit.

Amitabh Bachchan buys fourth property in Ayodhya worth Rs 40 crore, adds it to his assets over Rs 1500 crore
Amitabh Bachchan has been investing heavily in Ayodhya in the last year and as per a recent report, the actor has acquired his fourth property in the city. Amitabh acquired a 25,000 square feet plot which cost him Rs 40 crore, as per a report in Hindustan Times.

This comes days after Bachchan invested Rs 10 crore each in a real estate firm owned by Bollywood producer Anand Pandit. This is Amitabh Bachchan's fourth investment in Ayodhya. As reported by Mint, he bought a 5,372 square feet plot in the city before the Ram Temple inauguration last year, for which he reportedly paid Rs 4.54 crore.

When Amitabh Bachchan revealed why he doesn't have pulse on his wrist: ‘When accident happened during Coolie…'
Amitabh Bachchan is a megastar, but what also makes him unique is that he doesn't have a pulse on his wrist. Yes, you read that right. In a throwback video doing the rounds on social media, Bachchan reveals why he doesn't have a pulse on his wrist. 'There is no pulse on my wrist. When accident happened during film Coolie in 1982, I was hospitalised. So, they used to prick every half hour to get the blood. Because of the cutting, the pulse has stopped working here on the wrist. Now I only have a pulse on my neck,' Bachchan said on Kaun Banega Crorepati season 13's special episode featuring actors Additi Gupta and Maniesh Paul in 2021. Is it really possible? While it's not extremely rare, having an undetectable or absent pulse in one wrist is certainly not common either, said Dr Narander Singla, lead consultant, internal medicine, CK Birla Hospital, Delhi. 'It usually occurs due to specific circumstances such as trauma, surgical interventions, or medical conditions affecting blood vessels. In most healthy individuals, pulses at standard points like the wrist are easily felt. However, due to injury or complications involving arteries, some people may have a weak or absent pulse without necessarily compromising overall health,' added Dr Singla. In the actor's case, the radial artery, the main artery responsible for the wrist pulse, may have been injured or compromised during the surgical repair. 'As a result, his pulse is no longer detectable on that wrist. Such injuries can affect the blood flow or alter the anatomy, making it difficult or impossible to feel a pulse in the usual location,' explained Dr Singla. Are there more pulse points in the body? Dr Singla said that pulse points in the body are areas where arteries run close to the skin's surface, allowing you to feel the heartbeat. Some of the central pulse locations include: *Radial pulse: On the wrist near the base of the thumb *Carotid pulse: On either side of the neck, beside the windpipe *Femoral pulse: In the groin area *Popliteal pulse: Behind the knee *Dorsalis pedis pulse: On the top of the foot *Posterior tibial pulse: Behind the ankle bone These different sites allow healthcare professionals to assess blood flow to various body parts. A post shared by ❤🔥Magic_or_fun😆 (@magic_or_fun) How is the pulse checked? Checking a pulse is a vital but straightforward clinical assessment. It involves placing your index and middle fingers over a pulse point and feeling for the rhythmic throbbing of blood. 'Once located, the beats are counted for a set period, typically 15 or 30 seconds, and multiplied to determine beats per minute (bpm). Doctors also assess the rhythm (whether it's regular or irregular) and pulse strength. In some cases, additional tools like a Doppler ultrasound or pulse oximeter may be used for more precise readings,' said Dr Singla. What to note? It should not be ignored if you or someone else cannot feel a pulse in one wrist. While it may not always be a cause for concern, especially if there's a known history of injury or surgery, it's essential to consult a doctor to determine the exact reason. 'The absence of a pulse can sometimes indicate poor circulation, an arterial blockage, or nerve-related issues. Early evaluation can help rule out any serious underlying conditions,' said Dr Singla.

Amitabh Bachchan expands real estate portfolio in Ayodhya with 25,000 sq ft land purchase worth nearly ₹40 crore
Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan has expanded his real estate footprint in Ayodhya, home to the Ram Mandir, with the purchase of another land parcel—this time a 25,000 sq ft plot adjacent to The Sarayu, a luxury plotted development by Mumbai-based real estate firm The House of Abhinandan Lodha (HoABL). The deal is valued at nearly ₹40 crore, sources told HoABL declined to comment on the deal. The Bollywood actor could not be reached. This latest acquisition follows Bachchan's earlier investment in 2024, when he purchased a 10,000 sq ft plot in The Sarayu, HoABL's flagship 7-star mixed-use enclave in Ayodhya, for ₹14.5 crore. In March 2025, a report published in TOI revealed that Bachchan had acquired a 54,454 sq ft plot located about 10 km from the Ram Mandir, under the name of the Harivansh Rai Bachchan Trust. Reports suggested that the land may be used to establish a memorial dedicated to the life and literary contributions of his father, the iconic Hindi poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan. Before the grand inauguration of the Ram Temple in 2024, Amitabh Bachchan had bought a 5,372-square-foot plot in Haveli Avadh for ₹4.54 crore, the report had said. Additionally, the veteran actor had purchased a 10,000 sq ft land parcel in Alibaug for ₹10 crore—also from HoABL—further diversifying his luxury real estate portfolio. According to a report by Liases Foras titled "Ayodhya – A Rising Global Spiritual Capital," the city's real estate market is undergoing a significant transformation, driven by rising land values and increasing interest in both spiritual tourism and long-term investment. The report notes that land prices in Ayodhya have grown at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19%, with projections suggesting this could reach 25% by 2035. Over the past five years, Ayodhya's growth has been fueled by large-scale infrastructure projects, including the expansion of the international airport, improved road and rail connectivity, and the construction of the Ram Mandir. Land values in key areas such as the Sarayu riverfront and the Ram Mandir corridor have appreciated more than 4.5 times between 2020 and 2025, the report noted. The city is also witnessing a hospitality boom, with over 50 new hotel projects underway. Leading luxury hotel chains such as The Leela, Taj, and The Oberoi are setting up properties in Ayodhya, further cementing its status as a high-potential destination. The House of Abhinandan Lodha (HoABL), a branded land developer established in 2020, has delivered over 15 million sq ft of developed land and has more than 30 million sq ft under active development. HoABL has expanded across key locations including Ayodhya, Goa, Alibaug, Anjarle, Dapoli, Neral, Khopoli, and Nagpur in Maharashtra, with upcoming projects in Shimla, Amritsar, Varanasi, Vrindavan, Khopoli, and Nagpur. It aims to expand to 48 cities across India. HoABL has also entered vertical real estate development in Mumbai, with three projects across Marine Lines, Chowpatty, and Naigaon, offering a combined development potential of over 3.1 million square feet.
